Wife was around 5 when something like that went through her town. Her dad was with the police reserve/ ambulance etc crew, they didn't see him for 3 days. Cut through town, a roof from a house landed in their yard. My wife still is very serious about any storm warning, that left a deep impression on her. Understandably.
In the 90s one of those just like that cut a swath 40-60 miles long, took out a small town here, passed just 6 miles south of my farm, then wiped out half of my county seat.
It was so odd in the sky that day, humidity was off the scale, sky was greenish, perfectly still air. You just knew something was going on somewhere.
Those towns are still recovering from all that. You can see the groves ripped up through the farm ground, and the path of new or abandoned buildings.
Friend of mine was driving on the highway, said he saw a twister on the ground, pulled over, saw a second one to the side then, looked around and saw a third one come down, and decided might as well keep driving, there was no place to hide.... It was one tornado cell, but it had many vortices go up and down as it traveled. At times they would join up and close to a mile wide.
Prayers for those folks, and the flooding and damage throughout SD, Iowa, MN.
I complain about too much water, or cutting up the trees that have fallen here the past 3 weeks, but I got it good....

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
